He added: “I am shooting a film over here … seven days a week. But I feel great. It doesn’t take up all my time, but I have a very busy schedule and I like it that way.”

While Suri was in London with her father for Thanksgiving, Holmes returned home to Ohio to celebrate with her parents. No word yet on how the “Dead Accounts” actress will spend her first Christmas as a single mom.
